I'm surprised that they let sunrise have something to drink, because that is usually the source of your nausea.

Nausea often occurs during transition whether you have eaten or not. It can also be a reaction to narcotics, if you have been given painkillers.

One weird thing about both of my labors is I never ever felt the famous "urge to push." I would have liked to feel that. It made the pushing stage difficult for me as I just had to push when they said instead of when I had the urge.

I am enjoying reading the birth stories!
